Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 29, 1906.

Application filed January 2, 1906. Serial No. 294.039-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTONI BRZYKOY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Brackets and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention has for its object to provide an improved window -bracket especially adapted to support in different ways the rollers of window-shades.

To the above ends the invention consists of the novel devices and combinations of devices hereinafter described, and defined in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is a view in elevation, showing portions of a window frame and sash and a shade supported from the window-frame by a pair of my improved brackets, the said parts being viewed from the inner side of the building. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken approximately on the line 90 x of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section taken approximately on the line 90 m of Fig. 1, some parts being broken away. Fig. 4 is a detail in edge elevation looking at the bracket shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is an edge elevation of the bracket shown in Fig. 3, some parts being removed. Fig. 6 is a view, partly in elevation-and partly in section, showing the bracket applied in a different way than illustrated in Fig. 1, some parts being broken away; and Fig. 7 is a detail in elevation, showing the right-hand bracket and right-hand end of the shade-roller in the arrangement illustrated in Fig. 6.

The numeral 1 indicates the windowframe, the numeral 2 the upper sash, the numeral 3 a windowshade, and the numeral 4 the shade-roller, all of the usual construction. The shade-roller being of standard construc tion is formed or provided at one end with a rigidly-secured round gudgeon 5 and at its other end with a flat spring-actuated gudgeon 6.

Each bracket is made up of a supporting- 8, adjustably secured thereto. The supporting-rod 7 at one end is preferably in the form of a lag-screw 8 and at its other end it is preferably bent, as

shown at 9 in Figs. 2 and 3 or at 10 in Figs. 6 and 7. When bent as shown at 9, the projecting end of a pair-of rods 7 are adapted to support a curtain-pole of considerable size, and when bent as shown atlO they are adapted to be passed through perforations in the ends of a curtain-rod.

The body portion 8 is formed from a quite thin strip of metal having parallel edges, and one end thereof is preferably bent around the. body of the screw-rod 7 and is adjustably clamped thereto by a thumb-screw 11, having a nut 12. The bracket-body 8, that is to engage and support the flat trunnion 6 of the shade-roller, is formed nearits lower end with a pair of elongated seats 13, that intersect each other at right angles, and at one edge it is slit at 14. The narrow portion of the body 8 on one side of the slit 14 is bent outward in one direction, as shown at 15, and the body portion on the other side of said'slit is pressed outward in an opposite direction at 16, so'as to leave an elongated seat 17, that extends in the plane of the said body 8. (See Figs. 2 and 4.)

The body 8 of the bracket which is to engage and support the round gudgeon 50f the shade-roller is formed like the body just described, except instead of the crossed seats 13 it is provided with a single round perforation 18 and that the bulged portions 15 and 16 are bent to form a round seat 19.

The bracket above described is capable of use and is adapted to be applied and supported in several diflerent ways. In Figs. 1 and 2 the screw-rod 7 is shown as screwed into the cap-blocks of the window-casing and as projecting horizontally inward therefrom. In this arrangement the round trunnion 5 of the shade-roller is seated in the perforation 18 in the body of the right-hand bracket, while the flat trunnion 6 thereof is seated in one of the crossed slots 13 of the body of the left-hand bracket. In Figs. 6 and 7 the screw-rods are screwed into the inner edges of the window-casings, and the round trunnion of the roller is seated in the round seat 19 of the body of the right-hand bracket, while the flat trunnion of said roller is seated in the elongated seat 17 in the body of the lefthand bracket.

In my prior atent, No. 731,540, issued June 23, 1903, have disclosed a windowshade bracket in some respects like the bracket herein shown, but in which the body of the bracket was stamped or out with an irreg ular outline and then bent, necessitating a great Waste of. material.

The body of the bracket of my present application is made from ribbon-like strips 0 Waste of material.

small cost, has been found efficient for the pur oses had in View.

at I claim, and desire to secure by Let- 1e tersPatent of the United States, is as follows:

A Window-bracket comprising a supporting-rod and a body portio n adjustably supy no ported therefrom, which formed from a thin stri of metal having parallel edges, the said body being slit at 14 and being pressed in reverse directions at 15 and 16, to form a 'trunnion-seat, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
